The National Sample Survey Number 9 Report on the Sample Survey of Displaced Persons in the Urban Areas of the Bombay State July-September 1953 by Satyabrata Sen Foreword by P C Mahalanobes

1953

The design of the survey the questionnaires and the necessary instructions to the investigators were prepared by the staff of the Indian Statistical Institute where the Technical Wing of the NSS is located. [...] In some of the slips only the names of the streets and no numbers were given and hence the investigators had to go from one end of the street to the other with only the name to locate the household. [...] A comparison of the consumer expenditure of all localities with the per household expenditure of the general population of some urban area of the Bombay State as revealed by the data of the 4th round of the National Sample Survey (April-September 1952) shows that the two estimates are nearly equal. [...] The average size of households of the displaced persons was higher than the average size of households of the general population in the urban areas of the Bombay State which according to the 1951 Census was about 4.7 persons. [...] The age structures of the displaced population and of the general population are of the same order and as already noted by the Superintendent of Census of the Bombay State the structure shows the signs of mass exodus.
